HI Sue,
The Clinton haters seem to be missing an important point here. If she
was really intent on helping Clinton cover up his guilt then all she has
to do is testify and lie about Clinton's involvement. This is just as
plausible as the Clinton haters' theory that if Clinton is innocent all
she has to do is testify and tell the truth.
So the question is, which of these two scenarios would prompt someone to
go through the hell that McDougal has gone through to avoid testifying.
As Terry pointed out, even if she perjured herself and was caught at it,
the penalty would not be as bad as what she is already receiving.
Anyway, she has said that she would gladly testify on the day when Starr
resigns or is replaced as special prosecutor. I think that's the most
important clue as to what her concerns are. People caught up in the
Spanish Inquisition had no choice. It seems that, even though she is
thrown into jail for it, Susan McDougal does have a choice.
